GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Saw this, reminded me I probably owe you a review. Also Joan Chen is the worst thing about Twin Peaks by far. :(
- That's funny, because I never watched Twin Peaks (too young), and only heard about the TP references from online critics. I assumed Chen was a major part of the show, but now it sounds like she was TP's Kate. ;) Loved the link by the way. Ruby 2010/2013 04:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- I'm not sure it's worth noting Twin Peaks in the lead, as there seem to be more references to The Beatles/Charlie Manson in there. I'd also wonder about the phrasing of "two references" to Peaks—really it seems like one reference which stems from Chen's appearance. Maybe phrase it as "Guest star Joan Chen had previously appeared in the television series Twin Peaks. When one of the episode's victims orders "a piece of cherry pie", critics picked up on this as a reference to Twin Peaks lead character Dale Cooper's fondness for the dish". Maybe word it a little better than that, I'm not sure.
"The storyline with the Dr. Silva and his beetles" -> if this is a mistake in the source ("the Dr. Silva"?), then mark it with {{sic}} for clarity.

- B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
- Grand.
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- Grand. Maybe consolidate both writers in ref 6, as "David Wilcox & Ethan Gross (writers)". Up to you, entirely stylistic.
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- Scope is grand.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Neutral and unbiased.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- Stable and uncontroversial.
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- One image is free, the other one's rationale seems solid enough, might need a little more beefing up but it suffices.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- I edited the article per many of your suggestions. There were two references to Twin Peaks (Chen and the cherry pie thing), so I felt I should keep the sentence the same. I also didn't change the episode reference template, as I like to maintain consistency with other Fringe articles. Thanks for the review! Ruby 2010/2013 04:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
